Hundreds of people lined the main square, Piazzola dei Martiri, on Saturday for the opening ceremony and par- ade of teams from the 30 countries — a total of 1,000 athletes and support staff — in the week-long event. The events are spread out over five sites in northern Italy's Dolomiti Alps, includ- ing downhill skiing and ski jumping in Cortina d’Ampez- 20, 70 kilometres north of the Games’ centre in Belluno. Blueberry Creek Subdiv This year, the 31-member Canadian team will be com- peting in Alpine and cross- country skiing, Nordic com- bined ski jumping, figure skating and speed skating. The previous best Canadian showing at a Winter Uni- versiade was in the 1972 Lake Placid (N.Y.) Games: gold in Alpine skiing (Lisa Richardson) and silver in hockey. Canada's participation is being described as an early preview of Canadian talent for the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. “We're hoping for at least one medal in speed skating,” said Mary Appleton, assis- On cul-de-sac.

Following the Minnesota game, Polano, who rarely publicly criticizes his players, called Williams's penalty un- necessary. “It was a very unnecessary penalty with the team up by two goals,” said Polano. Williams also was accused by several Minnesota players of “sucker punching” Tom tant chef de mission, naming Guy Daignault of Montreal and Louis Grenier of Ste-Foy, Que., as athletes to watch. Grenier_won the 500 me- tres, 1,000 metres, 3,000 metres and all-round title at the 1983 world short-track championships. Daignault won in the 500 metres, 3,000 metres and all-round title at the 1984 event. Daignault also swept four events, including the all- round title, at the 1984 Scot- tish International. Another medal hope is fig- ure skater Charlene Wong, 18, of Pierrefonds, Que. Hockey brought Canada its last gold medal at the Games, in 1981 at Jaca, Spain. But there will be no Canadian representation in hockey this time. “It narrows down to one basic problem — the school McCarthy during a first- period brawl. When told of the charges, Williams would not comment. Williams broke in with Toronto Maple Leafs midway through the 1974-75 season, was traded to Vancouver in 1980 and came to Detroit in exchange for Rob McClan- ahan on Aug. 8, 1984. His best season was 1980- 81 when he scored 35 goals and added 27 assists for the Canucks and his career totals include 195 goals and 222 as- sists. success year,” said Appleton. “Feb- ruary is playoff time and the schools just don’t want to re- lease their players. “As long as the Winter Universiades are at the end of February or beginning of March, we just can’t send a (hockey) team.” The United States also is without a hockey club here, for the same reason. PROVIDES EXPERIENCE Appleton said the event provides excellent experi- ence for the Winter Olym- pies, noting it is the only other multi-sport competition for Winter Games. “It's a very good training ground for the athletes,” she said. “They're so used to be- ing with just their own sport. “It gets them used to ac- creditation, security and pro- tocol they don't get with their own sport.” Weekend Wrap-up HOCKEY = S23 behets venta Fedorko, Sit ns Soverd.

The local team lost 41-28 to Kalamalka Lakers in the chambership game. The Rockettes have fought their way to the championship game in their last three tour Rockettes second back into West Kootenay league play after placing second in their last three tournaments.

In Saturday morning’s semi-final the Kootenay squad disposed of the Osoyoos Rattlers 49.32 in a foul-filled game. Once again Halisheff and Popoff were the standard-be with a whopping 23 and 18 points Although the team has come up short each time, and has had to settle for a second-place finish, the game experience gained in the tournaments far outweighs the disappointment of losing the final, said Rockettes coach Doug Pilatzke. In their first game of the eight-team affair, the Castlegar girls got off to a quick start against Rutland Royals and never looked back. A 91 first quarter lead was extended to 21-4 by halftime. Foul trouble nagged the locals in the third frame. “We couldn't get our starting five all on the floor at the same time,” Pilatzke sai Rutland narrowed the gap slightly to 31-15 heading into the last eight minutes, but ran out of gas. Five consecutive free throws by Leigh Halisheff settled the issue 46-25 for the Rockettes’ first-ever win over Rutland after three previous defeats in past years.

Rookie Kim Lees notched four points while Dina Poohachoff, Carrie Brown, and Kerry Harshenin added two points each. Although burdened with four fouls, point guard Kim Tarasoff was an important factor in breaking each. Lees, had four, Tarasoff, Brown, and Tina Baker added two points each. Pilatzke singled out one of the more unsung members of the squad for special praise: “I thought Tina Baker had a great game,” he said. “She played her offside guard position well and played very solid defence. She played very hard, but then we've grown to expect that from Tina. She's been playing tough even since she arrived at SHSS.” Kalamalka Lakers advanced to the tournament final by successive drubblings of Pitt Meadows and Winfield, but ran into some resistance from the Rockettes who had problems matching up with the bigger Vernon girls. Basil ResKer loved people and scouting “He was a man who was loved by everybody — no one ever had a bad word for Basil,” recalled Joe Killough. “A jolly, roly-poly priest with a great sense jof humor,” wrote Ralph Edwards, author of Three Against the Wilderness. “Mr. Scouting in the West Kootenay region, the 1959 Castlegar News, at the time of his appointment as the first regional issi for the Koot Boundary Scouting region. The man referred to was, of course, the Venerable Basil A. Resker D.D., Archdeacon of the Anglican Diocese of West Kootenay, and one of Castlegar district's most loved citizens. He had come here from Kimberley in 1946 — the year before I came — but he was known and respected (as one newspaper article notes) in Salmo, Fruit . Ymir, Sheep Creek and many other small communities in the West Kootenay. The Anglican church was on Maple Street (now 4th Street) at the time, and I saw him often — looking for all the world like an English country vicar — round, ruddy-faced, bouncy of manner with a cherubic smile and short-sighted humorous eyes. As a celebate priest, scouting became his surrogate family for all his life so that when he came to this area he was made District Assistant Commissioner for the Rossland-Trail District. In 1957 he was made District Commissioner for Kootenay-Columbia and in his retire- ment in 1959 he was appointed to the post of Regional Commissioner for the Kootenay-Boundary Region. His autobiography. printed in the July edition of High-Way, an Anglican quarterly, reads in part: “There are many priests who have had a vocation from childhood and have been able to follow it with unswerving purpose. I suppose that I am one of these. I always had the desire to be ordained. “In fact, in the vicarage home at Purley, Surrey, England, during the visit of some bishop, I was alleged to have announced, as a small boy, ‘I am going to be a bishop.’ “As I look back on 47 years of parish work I can witness to the fact that this vocation has led to a lifetime of great happiness and some adventure. It certainly has not made me rich in worldly goods, but there is much wealth of many and varied friendships. “The influence of a priest's life is not a tangible thing, it cannot be measured, but he has the chance to sow seeds of character and high ideals (the best seeds are often his acts and not his words) in the hearts of those with whom he comes in contact and in rural parishes these are often not only of his own Church. “How often, as he preaches sunday by Sunday, does he feel that the seed of the word of God has fallen on barren soil; then maybe years later, he meets one of his old flock who lets him know that the seed has born fruit in some way in his life. “I well remember going back to my first parish in Battersea (S. London), where I served seven years as junior curate, from 1912. (There were 10,000 people packed in narrow streets in an area 800 yards by about 300 yards.) “I had left 25 years before, soon after the First World War; the hall was crowded with the former boys of the church scout troop and bible class I had been responsible for. I can hear now, after 45 years, that gang singing, to the dismay of their young and very callow curate, ‘Drown him, drown him, Lord of all.’ (The hymnn Crown Him, Crown Him.) “Those 14 years of work in the Southwark Diocese of Kalamalka led 9-2 at the end of the quarter but the Rockettes hung in and trailed 19-10 at the half. A third quarter flurry cut the margin to 21-18 but it was as close as the local girls would get. 41-28 for Kalamalka who had eight players share in the point production. For the locals, Halisheff 15, Popoff nine, Baker and Uchida had two each. For her outstanding production Leigh Halisheff was named a first all-star.

Services were held at 32 places and ranches. “There were no churches in the parish, which up to ROLY-POLY PRIEST . . . Pictured is Basil A.

The people responded well and very soon had built three churches, two halls and a vicarage, and that was during the depression when beef was selling on the hoof at two cents a pound!” Within a year of his arrival at his headquarters at Williams Lake in 1925, Archdeacon Resker had formed the first Cariboo Troop and ran it for 12 years. It was an unusual troop in that the patrols making up the troop were from such widely scattered towns as Alexis Creek, Horsefly and 150 Mile House. “I hated to leave the Cariboo,” the autobiography continues, “after so much wandering among the cowboys, miners and settlers, to settle down during the war years at Kimberley. But that too was pioneering work, for the parish had had no resident priest for years, and was at very low ebb in every way. “In 1946 I felt, as the song of those days expressed it ‘too fenced in’ in the city and volunteered to take over a new mission taking in all scattered places and mines around Ti Nelson and along the U.S. border.” And it was from here, in Castlegar, that he retired in 1959 after a lifetime of dedication to the church and to scouting. The Reverend Resker's association with scouting covers a period of over 52 years and began in Croyden in 1902 with Lord Baden Powell's first manual, The Book of Aids to Scouting — six years before the actual founding of the Boy Scouts in 1908. He continued this for about six years and then helped with the sixth Croyden Scout troop at Purley in Surrey. Archdeacon Resker ran the first camp at Cambridge and received a warrant from Baden Powell as Scoutmaster of the 4th Cambridge troop in 1911. continued next week ALFONSO APA Ladies & Men's Wear 1364 sey Ave..

June Lepsoe ministered in song, expressing that for everything there is a seasO® and that “now is the time to serve the Lord.” Eila Shmoorkoff testified to the joy she has exper ienced in serving the Lord as He has led her through various jobs and relation ships.

When we are sick and when we are well; wherever we go and whatever we do; we can trust in Him. He is our true and faithful Friend. We have no other like Jesus.” The theme of Sister Gra teaching was the im of forgiveness or reconciliation. She said that just as Christ has reconciled the women present to God, He wants them to be recon ciled with one another, to reach out to each other in love She spoke of forgiveness as being the key to much physical and emotional he. alth. Fear, anger, guilt — these ‘s Aglow three feelings control our whole phsiological and emo- tional systems,” she said. Sister Grace pointed out that forgiveness is also the key to spiritual health. “Without forgiveness we will have difficulty in opening ourselves to Jesus and, thus, have difficulty in prayer.” Referring to Luke 6:27,28 she encouraged the women, when faced with the need to forgive someone, to love that person with Jesus's love, to do an act of kindness unto them, and to pray for them The next meeting of the Women’s Aglow Fellowship will be held March 7 at the banquet room of the Fireside Place.
